RUN AWAY FROM the Subscriber, living on Clubfoot's Creek, the 15th of April last, a Negro Slave named SAM, formerly the Property of Henry Chew, deceased, a stout well made Fellow, of yellowish Complection, speaks in a hoarse Voice, and is near six Feet high; had on when he went away a homespun Coat the Colour of Nankeen, and homespun Check Shirt and Trousers. He is a Cooper by Trade, and perhaps may attempt to get to Virginia or Maryland, as he has Sisters and Brothers there. Whoever apprehends the said slave, and brings him to me, if taken in this State shall have Twenty Dollars, and it out thereof Thirty Dollars. LOVICK JONES.
